Sydney Training..
First real day of training since the TDU and it was a really great ride. At first I was a bit skeptical about the training around Sydney after my experience last year when I didn’t really enjoy the training in Melbourne and i was afraid of the same congested city riding, getting honked at and skimmed by the cars. But today’s ride was fantastic as we live just on the edge of the national park on the south end of Sydney. We rode through part of the park then once over the mountains it opened up to the beautiful coast line. We then dropped down and rode along the coast for about 30 km before stopping for a nice coffee on the beach, then started making our way back for our 130 km ride. Tomorrow we have planned a few hours in the am before hitting up a local crit in the pm to keep the leg speed going.
